Graduation & Time to Degree

With graduation rates for undergraduates at UCLA now exceeding 90% for both freshmen (six-year rate includes time off) and transfers (four-year rate includes time off), average time to degree continues to improve. Of the 2014 freshman cohort, 80% spent 12 or fewer quarters at UCLA. Of the transfer cohort that entered in 2015, 67% graduated within 6 quarters or less.

The average time to degree was 11.8 registered quarters (excludes time off) for freshman entrants who graduated in 2017-18. Students who entered as transfers and graduated in 2017-18 registered for an average of 6.3 academic quarters.
